Salmon-colored multi-unit building on the corner of 23rd & Capp -- residents involved in Mission district bicycle theft ring. Behind the 1st door north of 23rd on the west side of Capp st (behind the corner store) are at least two very expensive confirmed stolen mountain bikes.

I worked for years as a bike mechanic and custom mountain bike builder and one of the bikes in question has distinguishing characteristics which make me able to recognize it instantly. In this particular case I also possess original papers proving ownership of the bike frame.

On numerous (5+) occasions I have noticed someone riding the bike around the neighborhood who would have been incapable of climbing into a second-story window to commit the burglary where the bike was originally stolen. He rides slow and proud and I have observed him on multiple occasions store the bike behind the door described in the original post. I have also seen other expensive-looking bikes behind that door which would be economically out of reach of their riders if purchased legitimately.

Additionally, I have observed obvious fencing of stolen bikes nearby. For instance, a middle-aged latino male wearing all black including a puffy black jacket with the hood up in 80 degree weather (nice and anonymous), rolling around a $3500 road bike (complete with toeclip pedals), whistling down the street to his buddy and pointing to the bike. This stuff is so obvious if you pay attention.

Receiving stolen goods is indeed a serious crime. This is not a seat-of-the-pants allegation.

20th St used btw Mission and Valencia used to have a resident (or residents) that ran a fencing operation. It went on for years -- I would even say decades. For some reason, SF PD does not seem to care about these issues. Hope this one gets taken care of!

The deep ruts between the abandoned embedded rail track and the road surface cause a major bike safety problem. The bike tires get caught in the rut causing the rider to loose control. This particular spot is bad due to the bike lane being closed during building construction. The entire length of Illinois st has abandoned track with deep ruts. You don't need to go as far as ripping out the track, just put black top in the rut to even it out with the road surface. Many riders have gone down, including myself trying to cross these tracks while riding parallel.

Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, the issue has not synced with the local government’s work management system. If this issue still exists, please re-report it so it can be routed and addressed accordingly. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please reach out to us at contact@seeclickfix.com with any questions. Thank you.

The Good Roads volunteers of SFBC continue to report 2nd street to Dept of Public Works; the blocks really need repaving and not just pothole fills. The city fills holes pretty quick most of the time, but any stretch w lots of traffic, buses and heavy equipment (like on 2nd st) wears down any repairs quickly. 2nd street is also proposed to get new bike lane striping: We need smooth pavement along with the stripes!

The city of San Francisco has some kinks to work out with Open311. They do not currently have a way to update the reason for closing. We also need to make sure they are not closing issues that are unresolved.
Please continue to let us know if there are problems like this as we continue to work with the city to make their system more open.

This is a dangerous intersection for pedestrians, bicyclists and cars alike. Tiffany meets 29th at an angle making for difficult sightlines for proceeding onto 29th Street. In addition there is an entry drive to the Safeway parking lot across the street and is a popular pedestrian crossing spot (no crosswalks). Lastly Tiffany is a popular bike route and joins Valencia to San Jose so had heavy bike traffic. This intersection should have a 4-way stop (including the Safeway driveway).

I live on Tiffany Ave. We could certainly use a four way stop on the corner of Tiffany and 29th since coming out from Tiffany you can never see if anyone is coming down 29th, plus there are so many peds and bikes in the area. As for the little street/drive way to Safeway, it should just be shut to car traffic, it really is not necessary since you can pull into the Safeway parking lot from Mission St or San Jose.

I totally agree with the suggestion for stop signs at the intersection of Tiffany and 29th Street. It is only a matter of time until there is a major accident here involving vehicles and pedestrians. Cars travel way too fast down 29th street. Several times I've had to wave at cars to slow down as I cross 29th Street with my two young children. The stop signs would slow cars down.

Fix Masonic, a neighborhood group, got the city to post 25 mph signs on Masonic. Do any motorists notice? This corridor seems built as a speedway; how about some traffic calming measures for safety. Also the design of traffic flow is erratic with lanes appearing and disappearing (into parking lanes). Streamlined travel, better travel for buses and bikes, and ped safety are all in order. Look for new proposed measures accompanying the new bike plan with bike lanes proposed to get greater safety for all.

This is your problem?(Guest)

Cyclists in the mission district are becoming a nightmare for everyone else, why can't they abide by the same rules as anyone else? Ignoring traffic lights, forcing pedestrians to avoid them and shouting abuse at cars - there are some real kings of the road out there....
